Is this really an aluminum 5.5 pound chair, or is it the heavier 11 pound steel chair.

Hi, we have since gotten rid of this chair because we bought it to use outside. When it rained, the frame collected water inside, and the chair rusted badly. If you are using this chair inside, it will probably work. I don't think the chair weighed 11 pounds because I had no problems picking it up, and I'm small and have arthritis. And the frame is hollow and fills with water in the rain. I was not happy with this purchase.

Hi, I thought ours were aluminum but go with the majority answer because I don't have access to them right now to check....But regardless, they're strong and haven't bent or even hinted of any flex under my weight - 180. One other such chair I just found via Amazon (http://www.hayneedle.com/product/kelsyusbackpackchair.cfm?redirect=false&srccode;=cii_23393768&cpncode;=39-19616628-2&source;=channel_intelligence_amazon_hayneedle) says they're powder-coated steel, which explains why you're getting mixed answers - they look like aluminum but apparently are steel.

I think it says in the chair specs on Amazon. I seem to recall it was 300 to 350 pounds.

I don't know the actual # in lbs. But, these are pretty sturdy. I've got several 200-300lbs people that regularly sit in these chairs and have had no problem.

My guess is that the chair is pretty close to 50 lbs because it is shrink wrapped (no weight) and packed in a cardboard box. Hope this helps. Love this chair!

It is definately not as light as other folding chairs. 5 to 7 pounds might be correct. The frame is sturdy and metal. However, if they do not have issues that restrain them from lifting, it is no heavier than a gallon of milk.They are stiff to set up though.

The particular model I bought is all aluminum and weighs about 3 lbs or less. Great for using in different positions: sitting, lying down, etc.

The actual chair weighs just under 9 pounds. Shipping weight is 10.6 pounds.

I don't, know, but it is very light. It has a cloth seat and aluminum legs. I would be surprised if it was even a pound.

less than 10 pounds if I remember correctly. This chair is more taupe than gold.

Yeah that is wrong it is 11.5 pounds I have this saw and it really is a huge change from the old ones!!

Maybe five pounds. It's steel, not aluminum. I had bought it hoping it was like the old aluminum ones I remember from the 60s. Nope. Nice though.

Its about 25 lbs I think. Not especially light because of the steel frame. The next Diamondback model up has an aluminium frame but is $150 more.

I believe it's steel. Trust me, I am a big person and this furniture MORE than stands up to weight test.

Alera has two chairs that look very similar with different model numbers. I just bought a set at Costco which says 300 pounds on their web site (ALEFC96B higher priced tubular steel). While I am pleased with the product and think they would support 200 pounds plus, I just cannot see someone bigger fitting on the chair (which probably would not break) due to the seat dimensions and the lower back height. I am 5'8 and it would annoy me for extended periods (so to the lady buying for the cafeteria; I would not want to use them regularly). Kind of like an airplane seat; even if they could; would they want to :) Alera has two chairs that look very similar with different model numbers.
